Finite Element Analysis of Stability of Slopes with Precipitation
It has been observed in many parts of the world that failure of slopes occurs during or after rainfall. The effects of precipitation and infiltration on the stability of slopes are studied by using the finite element method of computer analysis. The depth of infiltration is estimated and used to define the extent of an influence zone in the slope. It is found from the study that the mode of slope failure is a function of the soil strength in the influence zone. There exits a threshold value of strength that allows failure to develop within the influence zone at a shallow depth.
